Sophos XG behind a modem

Inspace IT over 6 years ago

I am setting up the XG firewall in my new office.

I have a coaxial modem. How can I have a firewall behind a modem?

Hi,

is it just a modem, in that case just connect the XG to the modem interface and set the WAN connection mode to DHCP.

I forgot to mention that it is also a router. It does have an internal LAN as 192.168.1.1 and doesn't support bridge mode

You need an ethernet port on the modem. It is strange. How can you use the internet at home on your devices? The modem has wi-fi capabilities?

So, you can ask to your ISP to provide a modem with RJ-45 port or buy an adapter like this one (I am not sure it will work):
